- 1 mini loaf sourdough bread 4 oz.
- 2 cloves of garlic one left whole, one minced
- 4 oz. goat cheese
- 12 oz. jar of roasted peppers cut into strips
- 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp. balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp. fresh chopped parsley
- 2 tbsp. walnuts chopped up
- Salt and pepper to taste
Pre-heat oven to 450.
Slice bread into thin slices (I usually get 10 slices not including the rounded ends). Place them on a rimmed baking sheet and pop in the oven for 5 minutes or until slightly browned and toasty on the edges.
Rub each slice of hot bread with one of the garlic cloves. The garlic will melt into the bread infusing its flavor and adding moisture to the crostinis. Set aside.
For the topping, drain and slice the peppers into thin strips. In a small bowl, combine peppers, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, parsley, and walnuts. Mix everything together and season with salt and pepper.
Put a light shmear of goat cheese over each crostini and top with a dollop of the roasted pepper mixture. Enjoy!
